Reaching for that Good Feeling Emotion

I really think its time to get back to some relaxation. This holiday weekend I will keep reaching for that good feeling emotion, and I firmly believe that is what we should be doing. There is nothing more important than feeling good. That is how we will create the world we desire, that is in our dreams.

But sometimes things happen that challenge our ability to feel our natural joy and happiness. It can be like peeling back layers of an onion until the joy can be revealed. It’s about shedding or letting go because I think the joy is always there, but it gets overshadowed particularly when difficult things or situation arrive in our lives.

When that happens we just need to summon the courage to get through the tough times, and remember that good feeling place, and knowing we can get back there again. It helps to make that effort, because I believe if we practice that long enough, we will learn to be there all the time. As such, our world around us will reflect that peace, beauty and grace that lies naturally within.

For this holiday weekend, I believe in that inner peace. I will spend my time swimming, in nature, with friends and eating good food. I will continue to reach for that better feeling emotion until I feel bliss. And I have no doubt that I will again.

Meditation for the Ills of the Mind

Do you have a meditation practice of sitting still, perhaps cross legged on a pillow, and observing your mind, thoughts and emotions? I’ve been practicing for years, but sometimes I fall out of practice.

I had recently gone through a couple of weeks of feeling anxious and unhappy. I noticed my mind going to recurring unpleasant thoughts that I didn’t want to have. I tried telling myself “cancel” or “gone” but that was only helping marginally. Finally I got around to boosting my daily meditation practice to a couple of times per day. That was cause for a real shift towards feeling happy.

I’ve been trained in Buddhist meditation for many years. I love it, frankly. I’ve been on several long meditation retreats and in my mid twenties traveled to India and lived amongst the cave dwelling swamis in the Himalayas. At that time, an energy burned like a flame within my heart. I know from experience that meditation can do a great deal to transform our lives in a healthy way and re-connect us to our spiritual source. It takes a bit of effort and dedication. It is also a practice that is easy to neglect or forget.

I also get a free daily guided meditation emailed to me from Rich German. It’s a good reminder and helps me get into it each day.

Since I’ve made a re-commitment to meditation. I have been having a lot more fun. I”m happier and drawing more pleasant experiences to me. I think there may be something about this time period, of change and upheaval, that calls for meditation even more. I’m feeling confident these days that I can soak it all in, be with the experience and still find a spacious peaceful state within.

LEAP into the Great Forgetting

The Star Elders through Aluna Joy ~ Summer Solstice 2009

In 2008, humanity traversed the gap between this reality and the new world in the spirit realm. It was the first step in a change of events that will transform your world. In 2009, the task ahead is to transduce this new reality from the spiritual world into the physical world. The way you will do this is to let go of your attachments to the current realty you are in, and jump or leap into the next one (See The Leap Movie trailer here. The way you will let go of this world is to remember that the old reality is nothing more than a simple illusion; just a simple dream to be awakened from.

There have already been several fractures in the fabric of the current reality. These fissures are giving many of you confusing, insightful and exciting peeks into the new reality (Read about Aluna’s Dream here. These ruptures will multiply and grow and will begin to build a bridge between this old really and the new cycle of creation. This new cycle of creation is similar to the one you are in, but it is pure of heart and present.

Letting go of the old world can be a messy ordeal, but we assure you that there will be no apocalypse. The level of discomfort that you feel will be directly linked to the level of attachment you have to letting it go. Once you let go of any perceptions or thoughts about your world, they cease to exist. They have to. Everything in your reality needs your belief, your energy for it to survive. It is simple as that. If all of humanity came together and simply forgot all the negatives in this world, they would disappear in an instant. We call this the Great Forgetting. The opposite is also true. What you hold in your perceptions will continue to persist in this reality.

What you take with you to this new world is the foundation for what you will create in this new world. Because of this, it is vitally important to stay clear of any feelings of fear and operate from the truth in your heart. Simply forget the things based in fear, lack and suffering. Stay open to the vision of paradise, and fill it with love. Your head might tell you that it is the end of days, but your heart knows that there is something wonderful waiting for you just out ahead. It is up to you to choose what path you take. We hope you choose the path of the heart. Trust your heart. It is your guidepost, your guardian and protector as your reality splinters out in front of you. This is the wild adventure that your soul came here for.

These are the very days that YOU planned to help the collective consciousness let go of the fear of change. This is only a test that you are giving yourself. The fear of change is the only thing between you and the next world. Where you came from was a reality that was constant, but you were bored. Nothing changed. The world you are now in is constantly changing and evolving. Your reality on Earth is constantly vibrating. It is interesting and exciting for you. Many of you can hear this pulsation as the heart beat of the Earth. Your world has always shifted and changed and always will. The Earth needs to shift and change to survive. Change is not to be feared. Change is to be celebrated.

The calendar date you say that is in 2012 is a revolutionary milestone of the spirit. Once you let go of your fear of change, the ancient prophesies will not be something to fear, but to relish in! This is a huge and innovative step in which you can evolve into living masters in the physical reality. It is a historic breakthrough in which you will bind together the peaceful and constant world, from which you came, with the beautiful, shifting, diverse reality of the material world of Earth and your solar system. You are the pioneers of this significant and momentous time. It will manifest what you intended. It is simple . . . let go, don’t fear, and listen to you heart. And Join in on the Great Forgetting. It is all going to be OK! ~ The Star Elders

The solstice may be a time of bringing in new energies. If you have been held back for some time, this solstice may provide a download of information and stimulate your creativity. The upcoming eclipses in July will only serve to amplify this energy pattern.

The solar eclipse of July 22 will be a total solar eclipse visible in parts of South East Asia and the Pacific.

There will be a Penumbral (partial) Lunar Eclipse on the 7th of July.

The Pursuit of Happiness

It takes real courage these day to pursue happiness. I hear it said that there is little time in the day to pursue real happiness. What has happened to our society that we have become so detached from our true sense of happiness and well-being?

As our world changes, our economic system and generally the way we see the world, the dissatisfaction with the old world becomes more and more apparent. Bankers have become villains and people are disillusioned about their corporate jobs, especially after they don’t have them any longer. What is the answer?

I believe there has been a disconnect in our society for many years and decades. The general population has lost a sense of who they truly are. We’ve been taught from childhood that we have to find jobs, and support our material world, three-dimensional reality. Unfortunately that reality doesn’t seem to fit as well any longer. Something within tells us there is a better way of being.

What is needed is the next step in human evolution. As the new energy lifts the vibrational nature of planet earth, it demands that we seek to actualize our true selves. The internal dissonance has become too painful for many of us. We must discover who we are, and give every effort in becoming who that true person within is. For some of us, there is no turning back. It is time to BE our authentic selves in the world.

It is a spiritual question, this pursuit of happiness. Happiness requires that our internal world exists in harmony with our outer world. It may take some work and self discovery, but I am convinced that the universe is conspiring to allow us to be happy. We just have to learn to trust and let it be. So, define who it is you truly want to be, and begin to practice being you.

2012: are we heading for a dimensional shift?

Author: Angela Clarke

There has been talk for decades about an imminent dimensional shift, as long as humanity can sufficiently raise its ‘vibrations’. But what does it actually mean? One view is that we are currently living in the 3rd dimension (or vibration), and heading to the 4th. The 3rd dimension is characterised by mass, weight, volume and the lessons of the body’s 3rd chakra/energy centre, representing self-esteem, self-respect, generosity and ethics. The 4th dimension/vibration represents the 4th or Heart Chakra, and involves learning lessons of love and forgiveness.

How does this ‘vibrational’ theory work? Quantum Physics has possible answers to this question, notably the ‘Modern String Field Theory’ supported by many scientists. One renowned physicist is Dr Michio Kaku, whose books on String Theory suggest that the universe started a bit like a guitar string that has been plucked, creating a series of expanding soap bubbles or dimensions all vibrating at different levels. In other words, the subatomic particles that make up atoms are believed to be made up of vibrating super strings, and the notes they emanate then translate into matter.

As quoted in my novel 2012 The Symphony, www.2012thesymphony.com , ‘The universe is a Symphony,’ says Dr Kaku. ‘The mind of God is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.’ Interestingly, Dr Kaku feels that humanity is poised to shift from its 3rd dimensional state to higher dimensions, if it can overcome its self-destructive nature. This entails, one would deduce, an increase in our vibrational state. Is this something that will happen naturally, or do we have to work at it? Certain activities have been known to raise vibrations, such as singing, meditating, praying, keeping healthy, growing through life’s challenges, and just doing things that make us happy. But it can also happen naturally, usually the result of inner guidance, where we are instinctively drawn to certain foods, circumstances or lifestyles, and repelled by others. For example, at a higher vibration we usually no longer want to eat or drink certain foods, such as coffee, tea or meat, which are dense and can affect the body’s energy. We may start to avoid chemical cleansers in the home, and prefer to wear natural fabrics against our skin. Other temporary symptoms can be headaches, reflecting the expansion of the crown chakra, flu symptoms, as toxins are released, nausea and diarrhoea as the solar plexus chakra releases stored fear, anger and resentment. Muscles can ache, if there are blockages preventing the energy flow, emotional upset for no reason as emotional blocks are released, and breathing problems can occur as the heart chakra begins to open.

Heightened sensitivity is also common, to noises, light, smells, tastes, and people. Similarly, some start to develop telepathy, intuition, see spirits and into other dimensions. To explain this further, it is useful to remember that vibrations operate much like radio signal frequencies. In other words, we will see, feel, touch and perceive only what we have tuned into at any particular stage in our existence. That doesn’t mean to say that other vibrational states or worlds don’t exist. Fatigue can occur, caused by energy shifting through the spiritual body, designed to heal the physical, mental emotional and spiritual bodies. Temporary sleeplessness is common, in cases where the body is unable to store the excessive energy due to blockage and congestion.

Some report weight gain, which apparently helps to anchor and hold grids of light in the areas around where we live. Body fat becomes crystalline, and distributed evenly around every cell to allow the entire body to act as a tuning fork holding a new vibration. Experts say that the reason given for this discomfort during the transition process is that our higher frequency, non-physical body is shifting out of synch with our denser physical body, causing temporarily uncomfortable sensations. It is an activation of additional strands of DNA (we only use 2 out of 12 at the moment) at a cellular level that causes these changes. To relieve the symptoms, it is recommended to drink pure water, add crystals to energise the water, eat light meals, some light exercise to allow energy flow. When complete separation is made, the symptoms disappear.

Do vibrations rise suddenly? No. We tend to come and go from one dimension to another, until we start to spend more time in one or the other. By raising our vibrations, we start to live consciously, and open our connections up with our Higher Self, Spirit Guides and higher Light Beings. We start to receive guidance and information from the universal Spirit, which fills our lives with joy, harmony and inner peace. Most importantly, we are preparing ourselves for a more permanent shift into a higher vibration, to a more enjoyable and fulfilled existence, free of the limits and constraints of 3rd dimensional living.

Inspired Always, Staying in Alignment

What would the world be like if everyone made it a priority to be happy? Right now, that is the commitment I am making to myself. It’s not an egoistic sense of happiness, having all my worldly desires being fulfilled, but rather an alignment of my desires with a higher order of things. While I set myself towards this goal a few days ago, I found Wayne Dyer’s book, Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling just the other day at the library. It speaks of what it means to live an inspired life. It speaks to me and says, I must learn to always live an inspired life.

I haven’t yet finished the book. I’ve just started. But from what I gather so far, living an inspired life is possible, every day. Living an inspired life means being close to the natural creative source within. It is the opposite of struggling to accomplish things with the ego. The inspired life opens us up to possibilities, provides consciousness, nurtures and supports us from a greater intelligence that we couldn’t possibly manage on our own. Our ego selves have long taught us that we are alone, and we must struggle to make it on our own. Our inspired selves are connected to everything in the world, the universe. Being inspired is being alive, happy and in love with our lives.

Today I seek inspiration in every moment of my life. I hope you see the importance of that too. Imagine if we all did that. Imagine living in an inspired world.

Inspiration in the New Economy

With the current economic recession, many people are presented with economic challenges these days. As you are surely aware by now, individuals and families in great numbers are dealing with financial loss, unemployment and financial hardship in general. Our business leaders and financial institutions may have failed us in their stewardship and responsibility to society and their care for the common everyday man or woman. How long will this situation go on? It could be that we may see a recovery in the remainder of this year, or perhaps the situation is far worse than our leaders are letting us know. How can we respond to this as individuals? How can the struggling hourly paid or salaried worker hope to get their head above water again? Whatever the larger institutional woes we have coming down the pipe, I believe there is hope and opportunity for those willing to be open to the resourcefulness and natural intelligence that lies within each of us.

In fact, this shift in the way we do business may be at the core of what is needed right now. Perhaps for too long we have, as workers, depended on the corporate employer to provide for many us. All along many employees have felt disconnected from who they are and what their jobs are. Many people get into a situation where they don’t like their jobs, but feel like they can’t afford to quit. But nowadays the quitting part may become involuntary. This may present the opportunity to reinvent oneself into what one has always wanted to be. But, “How could I ever be that artist, writer, craftsperson, etc., that I’ve always wanted to be?” As you ask that question, there may be a confirming fear and resistance to believe that you can live a much better life, truer to who you are. The answer lies in arming yourself in the power of faith, ideas and the knowledge of the universal intelligence available to you.

I am struck how the depression era classic Think and Grow Rich drives this point home, and is just as pertinent today, as it was back then. The author, Napoleon Hill, talks about how people are in great need to find wealth and abundance in their lives during these hard economic times. The resources to find just that are our own burning determination, having a plan or idea (which we remind ourselves of each day) and auto-suggestion to our subconscious minds. This last part is actually very important, and fascinating that it was articulated as such over 80 years ago. Napoleon Hill makes the case that many of the great industrial leaders of his time, such as Andrew Carnegie, used such mind techniques. And to me, the belief and awareness of the subconscious mind working for us, is a huge relief. It means we are connected to a greater creative intelligence to help solve our problems and create what we want. Some contemporary quantum physicists would support ideas Hill wrote about years ago.

The economic challenge of the day may well be a challenge to step from the old world to a new world and way of doing things. The challenge is to have faith in ourselves, be who we want to be, and to create our lives as we want them to be. What really could be more satisfying than that? Part of the great resistance is thinking and believing in our new selves. If we have always held the belief that life is supposed to be a struggle, and we have to work hard for our daily bread, then it may be very hard to adapt a vision of greater wealth and harmony with our new work life. But with some practice we can re-work the wiring in our brains to allow for the possibility. We can allow for the possibility of our personal economies changing in our favor, with new positive changes in the way we earn money. And these changes are best made with a strong determination or burning desire.

For many people, a life free from the five day, eight hour a day work week is desirable. Working from home at one’s own schedule is highly desirable. This is not self-serving especially for parents who have to juggle family responsibilities. For some, life is completely consumed by a work schedule, waking up, going to work, coming home to watch TV to just do it all over again. A positive change of routine could vastly improve the health and well-being for these people. Having time for self-care such as exercise, nutrition and recreation are important aspects to a well-balanced life. When the individuals of our society are healthier, then the society as a whole becomes healthier. We all benefit.

As our economy changes, see how you might benefit from a new personal economy. Think about what product or service you might be able to offer. Formulate your idea of what you can offer and what you would like to receive in return. Have a strong burning desire to succeed. Utilize the subconscious mind by auto-suggestion to help bring in the inspiration, intuitive nudges, and opportunities to you. Act out of faith and determination that you can make this change to your new life. Maintain a greater sense of who you are, what you can offer the world. Feel a greater sense of self-integration and happiness. It’s all a wonderful learning experience of life!

Been Working Hard on New eBook. Meditation is in Order

I have to stop today and take a day to just be conscious. It’s kind of a balance between work and the soul. It seems very necessary for me to take time to just be, to meditate, to attend to the smaller details of life like washing my clothes or watering the plants.

All this week I’ve been spending my days working on publishing my new eBook How 2 Sell on Amazon.com. I’ve also published it on lulu.com so it can be purchased as a paperback. I’ve created the web pages for it, the paypal links, etc. Kind of exhausting. I want to let people know its available, but that seems to be the daunting part.

I do believe in the book. I am sharing a lot of personal information about what I’ve learned being an Amazon seller for many years. It should be of value to anyone interested in this topic. I guess it is a kind of niche market.

But today, I’m just going to give it a rest. I don’t meditate as much as I could benefit from so, I’m taking time to do that today. Seems like there is never enough time in the day. Cooking, going to the gym, cleaning, social engagements… my days are very full. Not to mention practicing the Art of Attraction, which is a class I’m taking given by Rich German.

Oh, and don’t forget to take time to blog.

All My Dreams Are Coming True

I feel like I’ve been living in a wonderland lately. Not a fantasy land, because that would almost imply that it isn’t real. But if it is a fantasy land in which your dream come true, then I may be living one. Basically I’ve been feeling really great lately. Everything in my life seems really good. Have I finally arrived? I would love to think I have, and won’t entertain any thought of things going wrong any time soon. I’m going to keep going with what I’ve got.

I don’t know if I even want to put it into words, but one thing that is happening is that I’ve just completed an ebook. I’m not ready to announce what it is, but I feel really good about my accomplishment. It’s out to the editors now (a few close friends who are helping me out). And soon I will be ready to market it online. Whatever happens, I feel this is going to be a great experience. I look forward to creating my next ebook after that.

Otherwise, I’m really happy with everything else in my life right now. I love my home, it really supports my creative and contemplative life. It’s a beautiful place to live actually. I go and work out at the spa almost everyday. All these young kids were hanging out with me today. I don’t know what they see in me. Am I radiating some kind of light these days? I do go to church, sometimes twice a week. I’m a bono-fide confirmed Episcopalian. It was the process of Easter that also seemed to bring about an ascension in me.

Well, anyway. Another day of happiness. I am so grateful.
